to weigh in on the arcade game discourse earnestly: i’ve been slowly getting into them more and more lately, playing both shmups and beat em ups, having a great time with both and i think they’re extremely inviting and fun and rewarding even and arguably especially at lower skill levels

At the risk of coming across as out of the loop, what's the current discourse about? I feel like this is something that may not be as relevant to my area, but I'm very curious

I picked up Final Vendetta recently and am realizing how bad I am at getting anywhere in these games without continues w also starting to really want an arcade stick but not sure which one to get

If you're buying new and have about $100 US the 8bitdo stick or the Mayflash F500 are decent starting options. If you see any used PS360 era sticks like the Madcatz TE in good condition those are good too (and will work on modern consoles with adapters pretty easily)

TYTY o/ The Sony PS5 branded stick that just came out looks kind of amazing but also expensive?? Plus everyone's super upset with Sony for understandable reasons now
